As for the stats of the NEW Pokemon. Drawing from the newly refurbished stats of the 5th Gen starters, where they all are even in stats.

Chespin: 48/65/65/40/40/50
I picture Chespin having a lot in common with purely Physical Pokemon. High Attack and Defense, as well as slightly above average speed. It's special stats will be lacking, and it's HP will be just about average. I definitely see it using Leaf Blade, Night Slash, Cross Chop, Slash and such moves.

Fennekin: 40/35/55/68/55/55
I picture Fennekin being very special oriented. I see it having an almost PURE special movepool and I see it having potential of being a special sweeper. I also see it having above average defenses in both spectrums. For some reason I see it being very resilient. I see moves like Fire Blast, Thunderbolt, Psychic, Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball.. I definitely see a wide movepool.

Froakie: 60/56/38/56/38/60
I picture Froakie being faster and also being a little more powerful, especially when it comes to both spectrums, but also being more frail than most. I also see Froakie having a very high HP stat to sort of make up for it's frailty. Bulky Water with a Mixed Sweeper. Scald, Aerial Ace, Close Combat, Sucker Punch, etc.

I don't see any of the starters being slow.. bar from the average speed of Chespin.

Froakie all day long. All those years ago Squirtle was my choice and water has been the tradition ever since, even though I didn't like Samurott. I hope Froakie doesn't evolve into a duel Fighting type but it does seem kind of likely....sigh. Still, new moves might make it a pretty awesome 'mon any way so we shall see.

My shiny pokemon: as well as shiny Snivy I got from some randomer japanese guy over the GTS Y Friend Code 2793-1497-1708
Friend Safari: Poison, Gloom, Muk and Garbodor!

Play Ocarina Of Time. Get to Ganon. Replace Ganon with Emboar and tell me he doesn't fit right in? The truth is out, Ganon has escaped, and is now in the form of a Pokemon!!!

This. If I didn't know you were on contract to say nothing, I would believe youare from GAMEFREAK, and just leaked the stat spreads.

If chespie is assign as dark type, it can make it uses on a more defensive role a little unattractive given the fact that fighting type moves are so popular (high jump kick, close combat, superpower, mach punch, drain punch, sky uppercut)

Though I sure do hope Fennekin gets Magic Guard as its Hidden Ability to fix that.

Ya, given the fact, Fennekin is a fennec fox, if it live in the desert, it should have magic guard to shield it from sandstorm. I mean it is not exactly useful for Fennekin as it is mostly used offensively.

Hey! The evolutions of the starters and some other pokemons will be relesed before October, right? Coz I can't sit in suspense so long. For now, at least we should know Xerneas and Yveltal's types.

We'll get a bunch of other Pokemon before October, sure, but probably not the starter evos. I don't think we've ever gotten them pre-launch, except for Blaziken.
But don't worry, chances are that somebody will leak everything online before release day.

Remember Poliwrath, it has hit hard and is bulky but lack speed. I think if Froakie is going to be a Fighting type, then it will mostly likely lack defense judging by how skinny looking it is. It make up for it lack of defense with speed and attack. Hit hard and run or focus sash it, sword dance and start hitting everything with Aqua jet, Close combat and earthquake.

Is there any Foxes in Journey to the West? If there isn't a major fox character in it I think it would be safe to say Fennekin will be free from this horrid Fire/Fighting chain, that will kill his popularity by a bit

On that note, is there any Hedgehogs/Frogs? Just in case...

I'm not sure, but, I believe i saw some people post here that Froakie, this time, might be the one with the journey to the west reference.
